The structure of the forward elastic cross section in (10-14) GeV range
Abstract
The logarithmic slope of the differentical cross section for K+/-p elastic scattering at 10 and 14 GeV, and for π+/-p and p+/-p at 10GeV has been measured. Rich structure is observed in the forward slope for all processes, which is well accounted for by the properties of a peripheral exchange amplitude for the nonexotic reactions, and by a peripheral component of the diffractive amplitude as clearly seen in the exotic processes, K+/-p and pp.
